In TGuillerme/landvR: Tools for measuring landmark position variation

Development (master):

landvR is a R utility package for measuring landmark variation based on geomorph data.

Installing landvR

if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("TGuillerme/landvR")
library(landvR)

Vignettes and manuals

The packages comes with several vignettes (some of them are still drafts) on:

• Plotting landmark variation: online or in Rmd

• How to perform the landmark Procrustes coordinates variation test: online or in Rmd.

• Some different systems for looking at landmark variation (displacement): online or in Rmd.

• Using landmark variation area as an alternative approach to Procrustes distance: online or in Rmd.

• How to rarefy a statistical test along a phylogeny: online or in Rmd.

Latest patch notes
